armenia and azerbaijan accuse each other of reigniting their decades long conflict . break away region prompting. how dangerous is this escalation true of the 2 former soviet republics. also coming up. a 73 year old grandmother an icon of the opposition.

despite the crackdown protests against the reelection of alexander. showed no signs of slowing. and the u.s. supreme court is poised to get. federal judge. to the country if the republican controlled senate. could ensure a conservative law on the court. welcome to the program we begin with an escalation in the conflict between armenia and azerbaijan over the disputed region of new. heavy fighting erupted on sunday both sides reported casualties in air and artillery attacks and accusing the other of starting the hostilities. is an ethnically armenian enclave we. in

azerbaijan that has been out of control since the end of the war in 1994 a de-militarized zone separates the region from the rest of jon the armenian defense ministry released images of what it said was an attack on azerbaijani tanks and shelling damage of the region's capital to pinnacle. armenia has responded by declaring martial law and a total military mobilization. we're joined now by correspondent in moscow ury. yuri what more can you tell us about these latest developments. well michael what we know from media reports is that there could both sides obviously have been blaming each other for attack and for us that's not been happening again and again for years the last escalation was and this time there are apparently civilian casualties in the capital of

nagorno-karabakh stip on a carrot news obviously in all of this military conflict now there are reports of that and among military servicemen and numerous houses in villages half reportedly being destroyed however it might be the toughest fight in this conflict that has been going on for over. 30. so you're really getting into it already here but delve a little deeper if you can what impact will these clashes have on the people in the region. well nagorno-karabakh is also a coal to disputed territory disputed region that you're sad it which is internationally recognized as part of there by john but mostly governed by armenian people so it's an actual fact a kind of an independent state with its own political system from an economic point of view this is a poor area which is pretty complicated to reach and that's why not go in the current baucus pretty isolated from the outside world and like any military

conflict this escalation will only worsen the situation now go to kind of block has been frozen conflicts for more than educate 1st violence broke out in the region in the ninety's back then 30000 people what killed then a cease fire was signed which how to stabilize the conflict but since the june june of this year we see the u.s. collation let's get some real regional perspective here you're a media has the backing of russia of course as a budge on has strong ties to turkey how dangerous is this escalation of a decades old conflict. well in this original conflict is very dangerous for the entire south count as this and to task dramatic consequences even for europe given that there by john is a significant on oil and gas exports to europe and central asia this new unix collation can disrupt oil and gas delivery but they also have to keep in mind you sound into the 2 other strong powers behind i mean and as a by john which are russia and turkey russia has promised to defined armenia russia

is traditionally on the armenian side and sees the country in its zone of influence russian armed forces are displayed on their main and border to support this over and over the country of armenia took it on the other side has pledged to support us there by john and then we have also iran well law by john minority lake so all in all michael this new escalation could inflame a big crisis and alternately involve more activists on different sides dynamic situation there you're in moscow for is no doubt we'll be checking in with you on this in the upcoming days thank you so much. take the symbolic step of appoint an opposition leader. as president. of the people the event is set to take place against the backdrop of renewed countrywide demonstrations a day after masked police arrested dozens of women at in minsk.

alexander hoping for a strong turnout at today's protests following secret earlier this week. now earlier i asked correspondent nick connelly what the. opposition leader. look like we're not quite sure. that. state t.v. really took everyone by surprise that the. big. secret. police. today. from the police have been closed today in the way places people. in the courts

today i think it's kind of. speaking to me. angry about this and. to be intimidated by these threats and. nick conway in minsk us president donald trump has nominated conservative federal judge amy kone barrett to succeed supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg if confirmed by the republican controlled senate trump will have put 3 of the 9 justices on the top court possibly handing conservatives a long sought wins over contentious legal issues such as abortion and gun rights. it wasn't a surprise decision but that didn't make it any significant i looked and i studied and you are very eminently qualified for this job you are going to be fantastic a president trump moved quickly after the death of bader ginsburg aiming to secure his 3rd supreme court appointment before the election the stakes for our country

are incredibly high ruling that the supreme court will issue in the coming years will decide the survival of our 2nd amendment or religious liberty or public safety and so much more his pick amy kone barrett saying she plans to follow the constitution as it was written. judges are not policy makers and they must be resolute and setting aside any policy views they might hold. there it is a self described devout catholic and has strong support among religious conservatives who hope she will influence laws on health care rights and abortion. i think it's a big win for christians and it's a big step to take we're taking that next step forward and abolishing abortion but the nomination has just made the late ruth bader ginsburg's legions of fans. female

i hope you. get through. like always find the way to the hole that time look at i'd really like to see. someone to up poulder. now faces what could be a bruising journey towards confirmation in the republican controlled senate democrats will be doing everything they can to slow down the process. strongly strongly strong. but in the end nomination will be decided by a simple majority vote which republicans will win if they stick together. to deal. with us stacey it's good to see you here would you make of that announcement do you think that managed to convince liberals that she's going to

stand as an impartial justice and not simply act as essentially a tool for republican interests well i think the tablo in the and the rose garden was very interesting it was very americana she had 7 children there 2 of whom adopted from haiti her youngest child has down's syndrome and her husband was there looking on supportively and that's the kind of scene that christian american voters like to say but to answer your question directly and short no it's not personal although it's political she barry did talk about. burke and her legacy and how important it is but at the end of the day these 2 women are ideologically opposed and they're it's leanings are more in line with the late justice antonin scalia who she clerked for and who was anti-abortion and who didn't was not support obamacare so. she didn't do much to sway liberals. we'll be seeing more of

this in the coming days what impact could barrett's appointment have on the court well i will tell the court the balance will be 6 to 3 so the swing voter the moderate john roberts who has you know. voted for obama care if he were to do that again his vote would matter because the majority would rule and it could serve to reshape the landscape of the court and america when it comes to things like t.q. rights emigration and reproductive rights so there's a lot on the line she's only 48 years old she could be on the court for 20 or 30 years so this is a big deal and also we should say trump has been sowing seeds of mistrust when it comes to the election he says if he doesn't win that it means that it's rigged so he has to pick somebody to and he's pushing this confirmation ahead so that if he loses he can say that this was a break and he can fight to the supreme court and he's hoping that his pick will

side with him you know the age thing that you mention is so crucial because people around the world might not realize that these are lifetime. and now trump is managing to stack the court with very young justices so this is a legacy that will continue for a long time so what happens now i mean if this confirmation as a confirmation goes forward here do the democrats have any more cards to play and they really don't what they can do though is try to slow things down procedurally they could use comma harris the vice presidential nominee because she's on the just the senate judiciary committee and she is a very tough questioner so you get her in there pressing this nominee about her record and her writings and it would what they're what people are hoping is that it would scare democrats who might be lazy they feel like they're not going to come out to the polls to come out and vote and it would buy democrats little bit more time so for example if joe biden works when he would have the option it hasn't been

done since $869.00 but he would have the option to add more justices to the court so that the balance could be restored and more to the more liberal leaning side you know the gloves may be off here oh yes. d.w. thanks so much for sharing your welcome back. sports news now and in the bundesliga shaka have parted ways with coach david wagner after the club's 31 lost of vertebrae men on saturday shaka have not registered a single win in the german league this season or in their last 18 games. in 2019 with the hope of turning their fortunes around but they've only picked up 6 points since mid january. faced off against dortmund both teams had positive momentum from decisive wins last weekend but dortmund have been title contenders for years now and are considered
